COMING TESTIMONIAL TO ROSE EYTINGE WINNER Matinee at Heilig .Thursday Will Be Brilliant Event Professional and Amateur Talent Will Take Fart. r U x t '-J ItOSB E1TIM.E, FROM HER LATEST PHOTOGRAPH. - FT ARTHUR A. GREENE. THOSB fortunate ones vt us who know Row Eytlnge. and have been privileged to learn the rare quality ff hr mind and the surpassing fcoodness of her heart, are looking forward with irreat satisfaction to the testimonial mat inee that Is to be gl-en In her honor on Thursday. One of the most admirable qualities possessed by the actor folk Is their splendid sympathy one for the other. No member of the profession pos veaws this to a greater degree than our 'Ljidy Rose" During her long career rhe has practically given away more than one considerable fortune and It la not on record that she ever failed to respond graciously to any call made upon her. She haa lent her talents to unnumbered benefits and the sum total of her many kindnesses- would fill av large book - of good deeds. Now that she has reached the three-eeore-ten milestone it "occurs to many of us that a public testimonial of affection and esteem Is something beautifully ap propriate. Mrs. Mlna Croliua Gleason suKgested the Idea and has taken the Initatlve In the preliminary arrange ments. Every actor and manager in town has responded to the sURgestlon and un less all signs fall next Thursday's mat inee Is likely to be a little the best affair of the kind Portland has ever seen. The staA direction will be In charge, of William Dills and the following pro gramme has been arranged by the pro moters: Miss Seymour and chorus will put on Miss Genevieve Thompson's new song "Swastika Sue" In Indian costumes using-special stage settings; Miss Elsie Garrett will- sing a number of new songs and Mrs. Mlna Gleason will give a mono logue. The Baker Theater will contribute one act of "Little Johnnie Jones." and Marguerite Egbert will appear in a char acter recitation.-' One number of xceptional interest will be the first performance of Will M. Cressy's newest vaudeville- sketch, "Mrs. Goddard of Ypsilanti." by William Lv and James Gleason. and L.ucile Webster. tTessy, who recently ' appeared at the Orpheum here, is the foremost sketch writer 'in the country and great things are -expected of his latest work. Special acts will be contributed by the Orpheum. Grand and Pantages: Louise Kent, Mabel clover. John Nunn and Carl Denton will present a scene from "Magda" and Charles Couture, late prin cipal tenor with the Princess Opera Com pany of San Francisco, will sing selec tions from "II Paglaccl." Such an array of talent la seldom seen on a single programme and amusement lovers cannot fail but be delighted with it. Already there, has been a heavy sale of seats and It -seems that Portland will properly honor the occasion. IN PORTLAND THEATERS Continued From Page 3. . which pleases young and old. so give the children a chance to see It. Those versatile vaudevilllans. the five Musical McLarens, bring one of the big gest musical acts to the Grand that has ever been Been In the house. The reports on this act are all highly favorable and the McLarens will be the special added feature on this new programme. A few weeks ago the Romanoffs were announced, but they made such a hit In the North, that they were retained. They come this week with their thrilling and daring knife and battle ax throwing spe cialty. The man disrobes the woman by hurling daggers at her. This Is an exhibition of human nerve and it Is an act which will be found far from tame or uninteresting. Grace Passmore is a singer of coon songs. She has the right kind of a voice for these songs and her selections will be new to Portland audiences. Another ulngle. worker Is Sfam Hood, monologist, parodist singer and yarn-spinner. . He Is paid a salary to make people laugh, and lie succeeds without any effort. Dick and ltarncy Ferguson will present the bur lesque act which has made millions smile. "The Dimple Sisters." There will tw a new illustrated song and motion pic tures. Today ends the present big bill at the Grand, with the Four English Rockers, in their lively singing and dancing novelty. DeVoy and the Dayton sisters are good entertainers and the American Trumpeters have a pleasing musical spe cialty. There Is not an Indifferent act on the programme and there are over a dozen girls participating. "A MOXTAXA GIRIi" TODAY Blunkall Stock Company In Great Western Play at Lyric. Commencing with a matinee today the popular Blunkall Stock Company which has more admirers than any other per manent dramatic organization that has ever appeared here, will offer for the approval of Lyric patrons that splendid Western comedy drama "A Montana Girl." This Is the latest achievement m the matter of cowboy plays and has never before been presented on the PacinC Coast. It has been very favorably re ceived In the East and many favorable reports have come from New York and elsewhere concerning it. It is said to combine the best points of both "The Virginian" and "The Squaw Man." Many of the critics declare It to equal either of tliose great dramas. The B.uMka',1 plavers will be particular ly happy in this b.Il for it affords prac tically every member of the cat an equal opportunity with the other. Ervin Klunkall will give us another of his very reaiuc -portrayals of the brave, rollick ing cowboy, a line of work in which he exoe'.s- .Manager Flood has taken a personal interest In the staging of "A Montana Girl." and declares that he expects every body to s!t up and tak notice when the curtain goes up on the opening per formance. The settings are certainly not only beautiful, but true t- life. This is Koirg to be a mighty ttterestlng week at t ie Kvric and you mast got in line for the b:g show. VKATIKE ACT FKOX EUROPE .Mile. Frcgolia Is Headlinrr on Bill That Opens at Pan ages. The Pantases Theater 1s oeo-ming noted for the ciay vaudeville wich It has been offering Its patrons all aeason. and If rrDorts from other cities are to Hj WLced. it will lose none of as enviable reputation with the bill which will be of fered for the week beginning with the usual matinee Monday. The headline attraction will be one of the latest European sensations. Mile. Fre golla, who hails from the Folies Bergeres of Paris, will come to the Pantages with her lightning change of costume and character with which she has won no small degree of fame. - Mile. Fregolta Is well-known abroad and Is creating a sensation over the circuit. She introduces two sketches. In the first there are nine characters, and so quickly does she. as sume the different parts that one Is al most convinced that she has a counter part or confederate who appears with her. Mile. Fregolta offers J1000 as a for feit if any one can prove that anyone else except herself appears on the stage during her performance. This interesting young woman makes 4o changes of cos tume in 13 minutes. She is a whirlwind and never fails to carry her audience by storm. ' As a special added attraction the man agement presents Austin Brothers, who will bid for popular favor with their great laugh-producing burlesque, "Two Ameri can Beauties." Lillian Wright and the Gordon Boys, will offer a dancing sketch. The boys are known over the circuit as the dancing wonders. De Renro & La Due present a revolv ing pole act which is expected to be one of the big hits of the bill. McDonald & Campbell will offer their character sketrh which, includes singing and dancing. The finest part- is an In dian scene, the second la an Irish spe cialty, and the third part is Scotch. Jean Wilson will sing a new Illustrated song, entitled "I Miss Yon in a -Thousand Different Ways," and the blograph will present a double series of the very latest animated pictures. Today will be your last chance to'eee the present great bill of American and European novelties, headed by -Ferra, "The Iron Man." Positively one of the greatest laugh producing shows ' in the city. Festival Chorus to Organise. The first meeting of the chorus which William H. Boyer . will train for the musical festival in connection with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will meet for the purpose of organization at the Hellig Theater Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, at which time work will- begin on some of the choruses to be sung from Sullivan's "Golden Legend." Gaul's "Holy City and Rossini s "Stabat Mater. In vltations to attend this meeting were mailed to members of last year's chorus who left their addresses with Mr. Boyer, but all those chorus members who have not yet received cards are cordially In vited to this meeting, also new members who wish to Join.

Max Figman, Champion of Fair Sex Popular Comedian Brltf vn Women'i Rift hi ful Sphere Extends Fnr Be 7'ond Circle of Home Duties. . AX FIOMAX, the Portland favorite I I who will shortly appear here In his new comedy success "The Substitute Is a champion of women and perhaps by some occult means women realize It. for he Is a favorite with .them. When an Eastern college professor came out with tha statement recently that woman's sphere of usefulness to the world at large was decidedly limited and would never compare with man's achievement, Mr. Fig man waxed indignant and expressed him self in no uncertain terms to a coterie of friends and newspapermen. He said: "That professor must either be a bigoted . idiot or a man disappointed In love and hence soured on all womankind. Not only have women achieved some of the most remarkable things In the world's history themselves but It is almost a posi tive-certainty that every accomplishment or mankind has been inspired directly or indirectly by women. They have left the impression of their influence and power on the world's history and woman has been the main cause of changing the world's geographical lines. . As the ages grow, the direct works of woman are more manifest than ever. Tn every walk of life they are commencing to crowd, man and are making themselves feared by men In all the professions. In medicine and surgery which they have only lately taken up. they are forging ahead. They rank high in our educa tional institutions, and In painting, sculp ture, literature and music they have already asserted their genius. The idea that woman's powers and possibilities are limited to tbe kitchen and the- sewing room is fast becoming obsolete. 'Some of the most attractive features of tlte stage today are vested in our female stars and some of our most suc cessful plays have been written by wo men and adapted from novels written by women. lVIy new play, "The Substitute," La the product of Beulah M. Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, very bright women who have already made an im pression on the dramatic literature of this country and compelled the great metrop- ol Is, ise w York, to sit up and take notice. Their quaint comedy "The Road to Yesterday" Is one of the brightest and most unique stories that has ever been presented in New York. I consider The Substitute" equally as good. It relates a story that is thoroughly plausible but wholly unconventional in conception and treatment. Their construction is admirable and their realization of dramatic values absolutely correct. In my long experi ence on the stage I have never produced play that I had so little change to make In It to have it practicable for acting."

In addition to one "special type" vessel, the Swift, which Is of 1800 tons and 36 knots. In he three years. 1905-6-7, however, only 13 des troyers were provided for, against 30 In the German programmes, and a de mand arose for an Increase in .the British programme. The estimates for the current year contain a provision for the laying down of 16 destroyers. Orders for 14 of these have been placed and it Is now stated that they are to be vessels of 650 tons, with a trial speed of 27 knots. The German destroyers building under the present year's programme are of 730 tons and 33 knots. Further, the German vessels were all laid down in May and June last, but the British destroyers will not have their keel plates laid until next month so that the German ships will have a start of five -or six months.
